soldier who was jailed for his refusal to fight what he calls an unjust war. this is the soldier who said no to the to be with speaking out against the war in afghanistan one he calls illegal and unjustifiable his advice to the government i was i was i listen to the people to simply. you know people want to know the morning withdrawal and support going for these conflicts. you know the call of will fall off the wagon which was the message which confucianist all just want to start listening to public clinton joined the army in two thousand and four and fought for seven months in afghanistan he says he came home a changed man suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder for which he claims he was bullied when he heard he was being sent back to afghanistan he hopes gone dead from the army and didn't come back for two years initially his military superiors were understanding but when joe spoke at an antiwar rally in london they

upped his charges to desertion which carries a ten year prison sentence joe's mother says that exposes the hypocrisy of the conflict bring in democracy we've got freedom of speech we're fighting when to do so just understand the lock somebody up for speaking out. about them so then turn paid a price for his outspokenness in the notorious military jail the glass house he thinks the reason it wasn't longer was to avoid a public outcry which could have brought on an examination of the war he served his time along with other soldiers who he says were with him all the way on the stand he'd taken some cigars around the train was unbelievable you know i was so much support from from my fellow prisoners it was fantastic and so much mildness one point i wanted to face i was going to under those who died is fantastic so you know they're exhausting a fellow along for the first night when the cell door shuts it off so that i was directing was so much more than the grant jews become a poster boy for the stop the war coalition. a hero's welcome following

his release from prison for someone they consider brave and principled well i mean shouldn't be punished at all he's saying what everyone believes and everyone knows who is not just on winnable it's immoral. for the people of afghanistan and more and more young british men and women are being sent out to risk their lives for a war that only the politicians support and even in private they know it's a disaster james glanton story is ok because it comes straight from the front line as do the ninety thousand documents released this week showing the unvarnished truth of a bloody conflicts and going by clinton's account of the support he received from the soldiers during his time in prison there is dissent inside the armed forces something the government could have a hard time making nor nor emmett's artsy. part of a controversial immigration law in the u.s. state of arizona which faced accusations of racism have been blocked by

a federal judge the new legislation had been designed to make gratian a crime and penalize anyone helping undocumented workers the judge dropped the crime art and a requirement for immigrants to carry papers at all times the state government has vowed to pursue the changes critics of the law say violates people's freedom while the defenders argue it's not about rights it's not surprising the judge blocked the judge trying to sort of the most extreme aspects of the law it is a victory it's a victory first and foremost for civil rights and human rights. so called illegal immigrants are part of our community there are millions of people who are in the united states without authorization they live in our communities the they go to the schools with their children the members of synagogues and churches they part of the u.s. fabric and they should be treated with respect and dignity and then that to the extent the blocking of this or part of this gives them a little breathing space that's a victory and put it to victory much. larger war the federal government's been

waging against unauthorized immigrants for decades now as a black man as a west african descendant of the slaves this is a slap in our face because what has happened is citizens of foreign countries have invaded my country the united states of america in which i have jurisdiction even in the days when i was a slave i was on the jurisdiction of the united states and these folks are coming to my country in the name ironically of people of color my color skin color and the civil rights legacy and they're creating their struggle whatever the suffering in mexico but the model with your career. their struggle is not to be equated with the struggle of my enslaved ancestors and the mass of the forefathers for them to come into my country and take my legacy just to rob me of everything that i am and if they get amnesty the black people in this country we will die because of the

numbers that are coming in this country through the through the twisting of the fourteenth amendment well i think it is right to the extent that he's suggesting that there are many injustices that are experienced by african american society that need to be addressed i think is fundamentally wrong. to suggest it has something to do with an authorized immigrants being in the united states or people from mexico el salvador other countries being the united states if he thinks he's going to. and injustices against african-americans by waging war effectively by creating a repressive climate against human beings who happen to be born on the other side of the us mexico border he's wrong and he's fundamentally misguided in the sense that he's creating the same type of races climate and so we have for you this hour here in our team the spy sagas continue find out why america and the media became obsessed by details of asking i was this summer. and stay with us for a visit to the kaluga region the center of russia's sign. is industry now thriving

place to do business. researchers claim the use of depleted uranium by u.s. led forces in iraq could be causing cancer and genetic diseases among the population british iraqi scientist malaki comedown who helped produce the report told r.t. the situation on the ground is catastrophic for the past i have been working with doctors i've been working with pediatricians gynecologist neurosurgeon or have been giving indications very strong indication that there's been massive increase in cancer the effect the study that we have conducted research does actually prove that there are massive increases in cancers the fold increase in leukemia tenfold increase in births cancers the infant mortality is staggering really the un president to numbers of birth defects we have a humanitarian disaster we are pleading to the international community to the

scientific community but really to government is to actually do something about it we need to set up an independent investigation we can't just close our eyes because this is happening and there is a whole new generation of very ill and disabled children and that is actually what we are facing. but hollywood and the media have been grabbed by spiny sagas this year part of the heels of anna chapman and other mata hari was arrested in the u.s. with thousands worth of hunting guns but as she can reports the latvian born american citizen has fallen prey to the media's james bond fever it seems the u.s. can't good without a hot spice this summer banished any chapman now another. also in her twenty's this time are of a smuggler and a spine. and if i'm on a vote was arrested in new york for trying to smuggle several state of the art

night gunsight devices into russia. she says she bought them online for her husband and his friends who happen to be fans of hunting there is no connection whatsoever between anna and. the folks that were that reported back on july tenth and ne she's not a spy the government's not even saying that she's a spy this is just this is just the press trying to us and say she lost as the story but to most american media she's yet another twenty something russian agent. in your line of this season spy high every washing human in the us seems to be you mistreat. young maybe a schoolteacher or maybe a reporter doesn't matter what you do but the allure of a russian spy still there and the women are the most intriguing.

movie critics say the rest of ten russian agents in the u.s. this summer was the best and campaign possible for the latest movie with angelina jolie a russian spy story song might have come across as a little outdated but after the rest it appears fresh and new the most challenging was speaking russian is a very high language our beautiful beautiful study of the f.b.i. could make a great gift to this movie and it's not the only one of the summer flick nights in date with tom cruise it's a favorite plots in hollywood but i think in the future they're going to be more comedy and some spice rather than serious drama. real life spying is no joke but when a young attractive woman enters the picture things change. i was. very pretty. as this almost fixation of the

matahari six. on the superman of his proof networking site shows she's online but she's not responding to any media requests as soon as american police put the alleged asked that his should slash english teacher under home arrest her web page was boarded by visits she seems to be not as high and as chapman who had lived in manhattan and hung out with new in years but this has also earned her own spotlight with the media. r t. v dot com has many more stories for you to look at and here's some of what's online and have the moment in the ukrainian city observer on the anniversary of the baptism of old russia was marred by a bomb blast in a local church killing an elderly injuring a. had a case of animal rights abuse in russia catches the eye of told them coach harry

our team. ever heard adults take a look at russia close up as we take you to another part of the world's biggest country. and today we're just two hundred kilometers from moscow in the kaluga region the center of russian science and industry the country's largest scientific research complex develops high tech advances in engineering and i would draw an x. but the region can also boast a floor showing car industry was giants like volvo and v.w. having their joint ventures being told that the number of cars is sampled the air grows every year by numerous job opportunities that you never charge of met some ex-pats who find the region a good place for business. for a long time carlo has been primarily as so sated when it comes back to maverick

scientists from the end of the last century go on and work on rockets the region was dropped big crater astronauts but what is good transportation leads to the capital that with a population of just over a million people the region has definitely room to grow today called logan's wanna rochelle's hotspots for an investment we met some of the exports managers working here to find out how they do that business and cope with that every day lives here . renate may be afraid of horses but she's not afraid of horse power every day she handles one hundred forty and her husband her own drives just as many the two work of the country and were among the first expanse to settle down and. the only brazilian coal good everywhere i go and i say i'm from brazil you of course i get this cheery and people talk about football and. so

up in the region which. were not he was behind the idea to employ all friends to set up a women's club in kabul which among other projects to petra. local. government does a lot and also private. but after eighteen years old they are on the streets and what can we do so if we give clothes one day it's worn out so we thought that. beginning a project it's not a bold giving money or giving things but given an opportunity for them to grow so does learning german in the hope that one day he will land his dream job eager to work and give something back to those that gave him a hand when he most needed it. even though the region has many call made because it doesn't want to become a new detroit culture is seeking to expand its production line for instance it's not actively building industrial parks to talk more on these plans are now joined

a bitter taste but no one would underestimate his part in building russia's third largest oil producer nor his managerial skills is the right person for the job right now for b.p. clearly the situation to b.p. is in demand change at the top it's quite obvious that b.p. is not going to be able to address the problems in the united states with tony hayward still in charge so to that extent changing hayward was no choice but of course a lot to be made the fact that he is american and knows that region well but also you know the fact that he was the chief executive of b.p. during a very contentious period of their company's history in two thousand and eight seems that he has the right credentials perhaps to take on this challenge for b.p. particularly in the united states and the task is tough dudley will have to reestablish trust and drive the company back from the edge by raising up to thirty billion in funds but that's not going to happen by selling the russian assets russia is extraordinarily important to p.

from every perspective the. financial results for the first of the year coming out of. over two billion profit just sort of underscores now the chief executive mr dog will have no choice but to spend considerable energy and effort there is no way this can sort of be delegated by actually was became kind of a scapegoat boy a lot of people. quite frankly for the dispute that he is now. taking over as captain of the ship and will be ultimately responsible for b.p.'s posture policies negotiations. the russian government knows what's important is. it will end up being one of the great corporate stories to be told as for the outgoing c.e.o. of b.p. tony hayward he's going to be nominated for board seat at t.n.t. b.p.

and always say the reshuffle will not recur until the dispute heywood's post does not executive director won't require his presence in russia and any greater role for him in the russo british consortium has already been ruled out. business r.t. . time nels take a look at how the markets are doing in most asian stocks are lower that's after the first evidence the slower u.s. growth hit shares of new street and then elsewhere in the world can't make a sliding into the red investors move lock in profits following a two point seven percent jump in the great recession and it was a similar end to wednesday's session here in moscow we talked of russian forces closing in the red energy names led the declines m m i six with gas probably was high during most of that all retreating close enough to raise the previous sessions games releasing around three. u.s. oil for conoco phillips is selling its stake in russia's independent oil producer
